“There is so much to take away from this experience,” she said upon departing. “I wouldn’t change a moment of it. The fact that I got to learn how to dance from world champion Tony Dovolani, it’s been so much — the entire experience.”

The good sport Ireland, the third celebrity eliminated in the show’s ninth cycle (Ashley Hamilton and Macy Gray were voted off last week) later Tweeted: “DWTS was blessed adventure. Thanks for UR amazing support.”
